So last week I went 10-1 with my serious picks minus the dream picks. So not bad for the first week picking games. Week 14 saw a lot of history being made and hopefully week 15 will have plenty more in store.

Dallas at New Orleans: Dallas has really struggled in December and I think it is in their heads. They didn't play too bad against a really hot Chargers team. New Orleans didn't look too sharp yesterday. Until Dallas wins a game in December, I am picking against them. Saints.

Arizona at Detroit: Poor Detroit. I want them to be good, but they just aren't there yet. Give Jim Schwartz a few years and I bet they get better. Arizona always worries me picking because they are just so unpredictable as to which team will show up. But this is the Lions, so they should be able to win regardless of which team shows up. Cardinals.

San Francisco at Philadelphia: Going out on a limb here. As I grew up in the Bay Area I would love to see the Niners get competitive again. I think this defense looks pretty good. Upset special. Niners

Cincinnati at San Diego: Chargers can take care of business here, they are the better team and they want to keep the #2 seed. Chargers.

Green Bay at Pittsburgh: Need Green Bay to win, and at this point I believe Green Bay is the better team. The Steelers have lost 5straight and it will be tough for them to lose six. But I am still picking the Packers. I think that defense is ferocious and will get after Big Ben. Packers.

Carolina @ New England Pats are falling apart a little bit and players don't seem to be buying into the philosophy anymore. Moss is quitting on routes. I highly doubt this will happen and this is a dream pick. Panthers.

Seattle @ Houston Houston has been close in almost every game. They close here. Texans.

Washington @ Oakland Oakland suffers a let down after that win at Pittsburgh last week. Redskins.

Saint Louis @ Tennessee I gotta go with my favorite team. St. Louis isn't as bad as their record indicates, hopefully the Titans come to play. Health concerns with Vince Young and Chris Johnson, but they will play and be good enough to win. Titans.

San Diego @ Dallas Tough call, but I look at Dallas' record in December and it's hard to pick them. Chargers.

Philadelphia @ NY Giants This is a tough call, both are pretty desparate teams, but I look for the Giants to get the win. Giants.

Arizona @ San Francisco 'Zona played some good football last week, but the Niners are the more desparate team, and I think they look for this primetime game to show up and play. Niners.

These picks are part how I hope things go and part actual opinions. More than likely you can distinguish which is which.
